Computer Stores

By
Davao City has many computer stores ready to supply our technological needs. Among my preferred stores are Computer World, Rasi, and Thinking Tools. I buy my personal computing needs at Thinking Tools. Although I don't really feel valued when buying something at their store, the price would make me stay and buy. Our computers in our company were bought at Computer World. Again, preference is given to them because of affordable price. All the rest that cannot be found in those two, we can acquire at Rasi. I wonder if I could save more if I buy online. My printer has high ink cost. I might be replacing it with a more affordable one. Lexmark printers perhaps or printers where I just have to buy a printer toner. Hmmm... it would be nice if it includes a scanner.
Well, it would be a lot better if it were a 3-in-1 (Printer, Photocopier, and Scanner) but without the high maintenance or usage cost. I haven't seen a 3-in-1 converted into a Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS). It would be a lot more convenient. Other things that I need to have their prices lowered down are networking peripherals. Routers, Switch, RJ45, CAT5 UTP Cable, etc. I might check out Superwarehouse computer store. One thing I noticed with this store though is that many products are old (e.g. laptop: most are IBM thinkpad. I'm using a lenovo now.). Well, I will still try to surf around their site. I might be able to find many things useful. I hope they have new networking gadgets. :D

Using Crystal Reports 10 with C#.net and Firebird

By
C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns:  ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES...

Number to Text in Excel

By
I was asked today by one of my classmates about converting numeric values to literal values in excel. I thought there was a function for this but I found none. Well I was curious so I looked it up on the web . I've done a little modification here to make it more or less generic (specially when writing in checks). Here's how it's done: Click Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor Insert a module Paste the following code: Option Explicit '**************** ' Main Function * '**************** Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Temp, WholeNumberText, DecimalText Dim DecimalPlace, Count ReDim Place(9) As String Place(2) = " Thousand " Place(3) = " Million " Place(4) = " Billion " Place(5) = " Trillion " ' String representation of amount. MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber)) ' Position of decimal pl...

Using Firebird with ASP.net

By
In my previous post , I was able to connect a firebird 2.0 database to asp.net using controls. The next goal was to connect to a firebird database using the firebird.net engine and using the repeater control. I however, was able to use the firebird.net engine to connect to the firebird database but not to the repeater control. I used the html table tag. I've created a simple asp.net demo displaying the contents of a firebird database on page load. Here are the steps: 1. Things Needed: Firebird 2.0 Server Firebird 2.0 Client Visual Web Developer 2. In Visual Web Developer, create a new ASP.net Website (using C# as the programming language). The project will have a default page named Default.aspx. Make sure that the code is separate from the page (ex. Default.aspx.cs is separate from Default.aspx) 3. On the Website menu, click on Add Reference. 4. Select the Firebird - ADO.net 2.0 Data Provider and click Ok. 5. Add using FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient; to the "using" sec...
